Huh. I saw that everybody was watching The Witcher a while back but I hadn't gotten around to myself and didn't feel it was a very pressing need but I'm a bit more intrigued now. Interesting.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I didn't LOVE it, but it was nicely watchable in that Netflix-snacky kind of way.

I'm with Jessica. Also, I kind of love Jaskier.

Next time I'm in the mood for that sort of thing I will check it out. Well, maybe after Umbrella Academy which I do feel more urgent about...

Hey. New board.
Just an FYI that my wife is consuming Doom Patrol (maybe only on HBO Max in the US?) At an alarming rate. She tried Umbrella Academy and finds this way better.
She just compared it to Doctor Who in terms of the line it walks that happily hits super weird, heartwarming, and funny.
I watched the pilot with her but she has left me in the dust now.
Also it has a character called Danny Street who is a sentient, genderqueer, teleporting street. Just seems like a Buffista kinda show.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Do what now? Non-human sentient character is totally my jam. I have to check that one out.

Did I say how much I liked The Witcher? I figured out it was multiple timelines about halfway through the second episode. I love that sort of thing, and it was done really well. Everything came together in the end with no plot holes or dropped balls or shit that didn't make any sense. Most multiple-timeline stories get tangled up by writers who can't juggle all the moving parts.
Was anyone else ultimately disappointed by DEVs? I wanted it to be the story I initially thought it was, and what it turned out to be was predictable and unsatisfying. But I don't want to turn anyone off from watching it. Someone who isn't me might be happy with it.

Hey. New board.
There are also rats and cockroaches that go on revenge missions and think they are prophets of Ezekiel (respectively) on Do Patrol, all with funny subtitles. And Meg says it's doing a great job tackling interesting sexuality issues. Definitely seems worth a try by most Buffista types.

The great part is, Danny the Street is actually from the comics. That's probably less surprising if you know Grant Morrison wrote that run.

Hey. New board.
Apparently it's actually pretty loyal to the comics, if modernized.
